Finally we are here in Guanajuato.
One of my travel desires has been to come to this
beautiful and oh so lively city. We'll be here
for 6 days and plan to have fun wandering!

Our B and B is close to the Pipila.

The two of us in front of the Pipila.
Our room at Casa Zuniga has the same view!

wandering over to the old viaduct.

Tomorrow we are off to Guanajuato for 6 days! Whoopee!

Yep-it's official-we've got "stuff" in storage
that we'll be taking with us when we move.
Meanwhile the house has to be free of too
much clutter ie: books and art.
Imani was a huge help today!

Echinacea flowers

Last sunny day for awhile. I went up to our veggie garden
to pull out the last of the tomato plants.
There are lots of flowers still blooming,
but it's definitely the end of harvesting.
Time to put the gardens to bed.

Leaf found on N Mississippi
After going to Re-Building to recyle our old bathrom sink,
assorted plumbing and building supplies
not needed for our bathroom remodel we
celebrated our completed project by having
a pint across the street at Amnesia Brewery.
A job well done!

Remember the Photo #269?
We had just begun to remodel our upstairs bathroom.
Well- finally it's completed and here's the finished project!
Much prettier and more functional than before!
In the almost 22 years we have lived here this
was the last room to be worked on.
And so now we will put it on the market
as we want to downsize.

Fresh local berries are still at the market!

Thanks goodness for those "hoop" houses or poly-tunnels.

They provide us with fresh goodness into fall!

Heirloom tomatoes at the Farmers Market

This was the last weekend for our Farmers Market

Now we'll have to go further for our fresh veggies.
Some Farmers Markets are open year round.

America's Love Affair with the Infernal Combustion Machine

What is it about these beasts of chrome that

compel us to whip out our cameras and click away?

Reminders of our childhood days?

Our fearless teenage nights?

Or memories of a less complicated world?

What is your opinion?

Day of the Dead is coming...........
We will be in Guanajuato to celebrate!
A few years ago we went to Ocotlan outside of Oaxaca.
We were lucky enough to meet this wonderful woman
who creates these clay masterpieces.

Guillermina Aquilar and her sisters
have been creating clay art for years.

Yet Another Creepy Scarecrow!

The Lake Oswego Garden club sets up all
these scarecrows around the community garden space. I think
there were at least 100 this year. Every year I get one
plunked down in my garden and I always move it away.
Not that I don't appreciate their efforts;
I just find them creepy.

This is one spooky Barbie Scarecrow....yikes.
